Clinton represents the 'old guard'

I was reading some editorial comments that were pro-Hillary Clinton and wondering if those writers had short-term memory loss.

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, we as a country will spend precious campaign time reliving Hillary's and Bill's past transgressions and watching the Republican Party devote it's time to mudslinging rather than true conversation about the issues that matter most to this country and its citizens.

Much has been said about Barack Obama's lack of experience. The experience he may (arguably) lack he makes up in the ability to inspire.

This country has been bogged down for so long in the machine politics that Obama provides us with a sense of unity that we really crave for as a nation.

Watching Hillary speak after her loss in Iowa, you cannot help but notice all the "old guard" behind her. Is electing her really moving forward?

If Hillary received the Democratic nomination, this long time Democrat will cross the line and vote for a centrist Republican candidate like John McCain.
